"It's pretty tough, but I wasn't expecting it, and you'll be able to promise me right now. Xiao Shizhu smiled disapprovingly, looked at the resolute look between her eyebrows with interest, because of Yingying's attitude at the moment, the look of approval on his face was a little heavier, and he said slowly: "Anyway, I saved you, just live well; ”。

"You can be regarded as an old reunion, so let's talk to ourselves. Xiao Shizhu patted Ju Long, who was sitting in front of the bed, on the shoulder, and said, "I won't bother, I'm going to get busy." Then he stretched his waist and yawned, turned and walked away from the tent.

Listening carefully to the sound of his footsteps gradually fading away, until it disappeared, Ying Ying hurriedly turned her head towards Ju Long, with a blue face, and asked in a deep voice: "Prince, are you shaken? Are you already planning to surrender? Have you completely given up resistance?"

As she spoke, a strong wind blew outside the tent, whirring the tent's tarpaulin.

"Hmm. Julong pondered for a moment, and finally nodded. There was neither pride nor remorse on his face, but he was calm.

Ying Ying slowly closed her eyes when she heard the sound, slightly opened her lips and stopped talking, and finally didn't say anything, just sighed, and her frowning brows also appeared disappointed with this lament.

"I'm just following the way of heaven. A moment later, Julong whispered again, breaking the brief silence in the tent.

"Heavenly Dao, what a Heavenly Dao. Ying Ying also muttered softly, and then showed a disdainful smile, and said in a sarcastic tone: "From the human world to the underworld, I have never seen any heavenly dao! ”。

After saying that, she sighed again, and Julong was silent, bowing his head slightly, staring at the scales on the snake's tail under his waist, stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Prince, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup this Xiao Shizhu poured into you, or what kind of torture was used to force you to submit? But do you think your actions are worthy of your father's co-work? Are you worthy of the general who died in battle? Are you worthy of the people who were slaughtered by Xiao Shizhu in Yingzhu City?" After a pause, Ying Ying asked in a trembling voice: "Have you forgotten that the Water Tiger clan was exterminated by him?"

When Julong heard this, his whole body trembled slightly, and his brows furrowed.

"I haven't forgotten. After a while, a trace of sadness flashed in Julong's eyes, and after his body was shocked again, he said in a low voice: "I watched him slaughter the city with my own eyes, it was a chilling memory, how could I forget it." ”。

"But no one is a saint or a sage, and so are ghosts. He paused, slowly clenched his fists, and said, "I have observed for several days, and I feel that he is indeed very extraordinary, and perhaps you do not know that our people, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, who were abandoned by my father and the king without hesitation to ensure victory in this battle, have survived by the careful care of our enemies. This makes me even more chilled. ”。

It is precisely because of these good deeds of his that not only our soldiers are extremely respectful to him, but even the relatives and friends of the old, weak, sick and disabled who have been abandoned by us in this Fengdui County are very supportive of him, and voluntarily carry food and water for him and his soldiers. Ju Long's face showed awe, and he said excitedly: "My father has been a prince king in this underworld for thousands of years, and I have never seen an enemy so happy and sincere to him;

Ying Ying was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she didn't know what kind of mind control technique this prince Julong had fallen into? Why was he so disrespectful to his father today?

When she was suspicious, her face was even more ugly, she snorted heavily, and asked in a cold voice: "How can indiscriminately kill innocent ghosts become a big thing?"

"Indiscriminately killing innocents? Aren't we killing innocents indiscriminately?" Isn't it true that we have also killed many of his sergeants?" the crown prince Julong asked rhetorically, without thinking about it, "And for the old, weak, sick and disabled people who were abandoned by my father without saying a word, and allowed themselves to destroy themselves, aren't we also killing innocents indiscriminately?"

The look of surprise between Ying Ying's eyebrows, the more she listened, the heavier it became.

"Shut up. When Julong finished speaking, she was already furious, completely ignoring the dignity of her superiors and subordinates, and shouted angrily to Julong: "Isn't the king doing this to ensure that more people will not be slaughtered by the invaders? Moreover, those old, weak, sick and disabled people were left behind in order to drag down the Xiao family's army, and they should become martyrs! They should be proud of it!"

It's just that the further I say this, the more I lack confidence, and in the end, the voice slowly decreases, like the sound of mosquitoes.

At the beginning, she planned for the co-workers, and the strategy of emptying the harbor was indeed her. However, although the Gonggong also agreed with this policy, it was also decided that all the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the coastal areas of the country and the towns near the coast must be left alone, and these hundreds of thousands of mouths will be used to drag down the Xiao Jiajun and Zhu Rongjun.

Although Ying Ying was also very disgusted with this move, firstly, this matter was a matter of co-workers' determination, and secondly, since she came to the underworld, entered the Sutianju, and was still a disciple of the Holy Maiden, she was instilled with the concept of 'loyalty and patriotism' that the king will never make mistakes.

Therefore, even if she knew that Gonggong was a big mistake in doing this, because Gonggong was her king and her boss after all, under the idea that the king is infallible, she had no courage to question the other party, let alone deny the other party.

All she can do is to continue to carry out the orders with perseverance, believing that what the co-workers are doing is right.

"Confused!" Unexpectedly, Ju Long, who had always been respectful to her, retorted not to be outdone: "Isn't this kind of behavior of thinking about the people and doing the opposite for the sake of victory, isn't it equivalent to making Xiao Shizhu win the hearts of the people? You are a smart ghost, have you ever thought about it, if Xiao Jiajun does not give food and drink to these people who have been abandoned by us, and does not take care of them, then what should they do? Aren't we also killing innocents indiscriminately in disguise?"

As soon as these words came out, Ying Ying was speechless after a little suffocation.

"Holy Maiden, I have made up my mind. Ying Ying Muran, after the two ghosts were silent for a moment, Ju Long calmed down the excitement in his chest a little, stood up and turned his back to Ying Ying and said: "I am willing to follow Xiao Shizhu to make meritorious contributions, and return one of the ten continents in the underworld to be too safe and stable; When the injury is healed, see with your own eyes whether Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, is a saint who knows more than my father. ”。 After speaking, he walked towards the outside of the big tent without looking back.

Yingying was left alone in this quiet tent, closing her eyes and contemplating.

After a long time, a long lament sounded in the tent, breaking the silence of the tent.

Julong swayed his snake's tail, and after walking outside the tent, he took a deep breath.

"Excuse me, where has the Nine Shadows King gone? He turned to the guards guarding the tent and asked.

"The king and Lord Lu Wu asked for a fishing rod and went fishing by the lake. After a moment's thought, the soldier bowed to the dragon.

"Thank you. Julong returned the salute and walked towards the lake.

Along the way, in addition to the patrols, there were also many ordinary people, carrying stones, timber and other things, shuttling back and forth in the barracks.

Julong was very curious, looked left and right at the stones and wood for a while, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then put away his curiosity and continued to move forward.

After walking for a while, he came to the lake, but he saw that Xiao Shizhu was really sitting on the ground by the lake with a hat and a robe, holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand and a fish basket at his feet.

"The King of the Nine Shadows is so Yaxing. Ju Longyou stepped forward, stood beside Xiao Shizhu, looked up at the tumbling dark clouds in the air, and arched his hand: "It's going to rain, you are still in the mood to fish here." ”。

"That's why I brought a hat and a robe. Xiao Shizhu smiled. Looked away from the fishing line on the fishing rod and looked at Ju Long, but after seeing a hint of frustration in Ju Long's eyes, he slowly asked, "The holy woman refuted you, right?"

"Yes. Julong sighed lightly and said, "It seems that I can't hide anything from you." ”。

"She has a lot of backbone, and she is loyal to your father; Xiao Shizhu smiled and said disappreciatively: "Take your time." ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, the rod in his hand bent, and the line kept vibrating. Xiao Shizhu held the fishing rod tightly, stabilizing his body but not rushing to lift the rod.

It wasn't until half an hour later, when the trembling of the rod gradually faded with the passage of time, that he suddenly lifted the rod. But when I saw the hook coming out of the water, there was a splash, and there was a big fish with a fluttering tail on it.

"Julong. Xiao Shizhu pulled back the fishing line, took the big fish off the hook and put it in the fish basket, then took the bowl with the bait handed by King Kong, took out an earthworm from it, and hung the hook: "I have always been curious, what is the official position of the saint in your country?"

So saying, he swung his rod out of the lake, and the hook fell into the water, causing ripples.

"The Holy Maiden is not an official position, but a sacred and ancient professional title in our country. They have lived their lives in their faith. They are all ghosts with strange abilities, and they can also divinate some future events for my father, etc. The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and there was a faint thunder on the edge of the sky, and the voice of the dragon came slowly: "Sometimes they pray for the blessings of the people, so the holy woman has a great prestige in the kingdom, second only to my father." However, since they became saints, they were also destined to be in the underworld, and they could not have love or desire. ”

"Oh. Xiao Shizhu, who satisfied his curiosity, nodded and pondered for a moment, and then asked, "They? Could it be that there are several saints?" ”。
